Both are available as 30-day trials, so if you're interested in flexing your animation wings, this is great animation software to help you get started.Ĭheck out the video below from Macworld | iWorld 2012 to see the Wacom tablet in action in Anime Studio. There's two flavors of Anime Studio: The Pro version runs $199.99 and the Debut version is $49.99. One of Smith Micro's goals is to get Anime Studio into more schools, and I wish there had been something like this when I was in school. I wouldn't recommend the Wacom to a very young child who isn't quite sure of all the controls, but a middle-schooler would be absolutely fine. I would love to see what Isa could do with Anime Studio. Using the Wacom was especially nice in freehand mode to do doodles, but I will leave the majority of the serious artwork to my comics partner. The amount of flexibility in the program is impressive, and I even had part of my character's face separated from the rest for awhile! There were guides cueing me into showing me what parts of the character I could move, and it took very little time to make a crude animation. I went for the beginner mode and was treated to a very nice, robust tutorial and a pre-made character designed to teach me how everything worked. The program assumes you know very little about the animation process, and will ask if you want to enter beginner or standard mode.

After Macworld, they sent me a Wacom Bamboo Capture so I could try the software out for myself.Īnime Studio is a vector-based program designed to make the transition to doing your own animation a bit easier.

Moho Professional 12 had been released in Aug 2016. Anime Studio 8.1 allows support for Wacom multi-touch tablets, the first of its kind for a piece of animation software. Keep the Debut and Pro version as it is but change 'Anime Studio Pro' to simply 'Anime Studio' as a middle tier 'prosumer' version at the current price, then offer a PRO version at a higher price with more powerful features that target the pro users SPECIFICALLY. The 2016 launch of Moho 12 included additional features like as pin number bone tissues, optimized Bzier deals with, improved free hand equipment, intelligent warp, true movement blur, and more.
